Your such a cynic Sam.
Touting beautiful, young women is not about personal gain. It's altruism in its purest form. For the best touts it is enough to know they've boosted a girl's career with the stamp of their imprimatur, while for others the proverbial 'pat on the head' is reward enough - even lapdogs need reassurance from time to time - a couple of smileys can go a long way too! Sure we know that when they 'hint' of freebies that it's all just a laugh, to entertain the forum like! Your question may actually offend many diehard posters who do their best to keep the wolves from the door of these escorts, sure there's not even an ego-boost involved!
Anyway, why not be all grown up on E-I and let the girls use the general forum to announce new pics/ tours etc? They're already paying for the site with their ad revenue. Better that way so to guarantee no unscrupulous types could try to negotiate a freebie.

I got a deep and lingering kiss once when I came in the door and was told that it was for some comments i made about her here so
Life is a journey, complete it.

Being the cynic I am, I don't believe in altruism. Altruism is an act of complete selflessness. This means someone does something for no physical, material or moral reward whatsoever. If someone had captured me and my missus, held us at gun point and said, "One of you will die. Who will it be?" and I said, "Kill me! Let Mrs Sam live!", in terms of altruism, that would still be regarded as selfish because I don't want her to die.
So you see, altruism doesn't exist. Oh, cue smiley....
The thread was also a good trolling thread
I think this OP does touch on an interesting and generally overlooked aspect of some escort/client relationships. A long retired sex worker I've conversed with recalled how well she was treated by many clients, not only when working, but in terms of practical help afterwards, such as transport, practical gifts, unpaid work such as painting and decorating etc.
This is by no means uncommon and is indicative of a much deeper phenomenon than simply a sexual encounter. While very few escort/clients relationships (I assume) go on to become permanent, there is an inherent need in many clients to perform the role of provider and protector, despite the semi-detached and financial nature of the relationship. The giving of gifts when visiting is another aspect of this.
I don't think it's something to necessarily be cynical about -- in fact I think it's a real positive and rather than clients looking for some kind of 'freebie', they're showing their best side, while providing help and respect. It's mutually beneficial.
And it's yet another aspect conveniently overlooked by those who hate sex work.
2014 in Northern Ireland:
Number of reported attacks on sex workers 70
Number of sex trafficking cases ZERO

Admittedly my OP was facetious and it was intended to spark debate. I understand the psychology of why posters create tout threads, and I genuinely don't see anything wrong with them whatsoever. I just like to wind people up from time to time (smiley: ).
That said, while we are talking about altruism and filling the role of the protector and such like, I did watch a psychology documentary a few years ago about sexual attractiveness bias. Basically there was this experiment held in an airport. There was a middle age, average looking woman trying to carry a large, 20 kilo suitcase up an escalator. She was displaying obvious signs of struggling and everyone just walked past her. They conducted this test over several hours. They carried out the same test over the same time period, replacing the middle age, average looking woman with a seriously attractive younger woman, in her mid-twenties. When she showed signs of struggling to get the same suitcase up the escalator, every time, a man would stop to help her and would carry the suitcase for her; even as far as the other side of the airport! This does make one wonder if people willing to help out sex workers are doing this as a need to play the 'protector' or they are subconsciously hoping that there will be something more in terms of rewarding. For those people that state that they would do this for anyone and they are doing this just to be nice, how many of these people would decline the offer of a sexual reward if this was offered?
In reviews these things are reflected if subtly. Some people write, "treat her right lads, and she will look after you" or "please treat her with the respect she deserves". After all, don't all escorts deserve respect, whether the client was happy with the service or not? We also see comments from clients saying that the service was so amazing, that they tipped her extra, or like you said, David, comments about their gifts ("hope you enjoy the wine" or "glad you like the chocolates", etc.). Honestly, there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. It is always lovely when someone gives you a pat on the head or lets you know that the service you are providing was excellent (in any industry).
Going off on a bit of a tangent, issues only really occur if a client blurs the lines between what is a good service provider with something more than a business transaction. If an escort or client do have relations and they can work with that, that is really good news and I am sure in most cases discretion is maintained by both parties.
I am honestly not saying that men are touting escorts to get freebies. The comment was deliberately ambiguous and left open to interpretation. As men, we all appreciate the aesthetic wonders of the female form
